Studying for a trade or engineering course? Need help with Maths?

Here are some links and resources to learn/update your maths skills.

Metric units of measure
In this module, you will study metric units of measure and how to convert from one unit to another.

Perimeter of squares, rectangles and triangles
In this module you will study how to find the perimeter (distance around) some of standard two-dimensional shapes such as squares and triangles.
Circumference of circles
In this module, you will learn about the number "pi" and you'll learn how to use pi to calculate the circumference (distance around) a circle.

Area of squares, rectangles and triangles
In this module, you learn how to find the area of some standard two-dimensional shapes.
Area of circles
Here you will learn how to use pi to find the area of a circle.

Surface area of cubes, cuboids and triangular prisms
In this module, you will study how to find the surface area of various standard three-dimensional objects such as cubes and boxes.
Surface area of cylinders
Here you can study how to find the surface area of a cylinder.

Volume of cubes, cuboids and triangular prisms
This module discusses finding the volume (capacity) of various three-dimensional objects like cubes and boxes.
Volume of cylinders, cones, spheres and pyramids
In this module, you will study how to find the volume of cylinders, cones, spheres and pyramids.

Variables and expressions
In this module you can learn what a variable is and how variables are used in algebra.
Order of operations
In this module you can learn what order you must use when you simplify algebraic expressions.
Expanding expressions with brackets
In this module you will learn how to remove the brackets from algebraic expressions.
For example, you'll study how to change 3(x - 2) into 3x - 6.
Exponent basics
In this module you can learn what exponents are and how to work with them.
Radicals basics
In this module you can study how to work with square roots and cube roots.
Evaluating expressions
In this module you can study how to substitute numbers into algebraic expressions.
For example, you'll study how to find the value of (x + 2y) when x=3 and y=5.
Evaluating a formula using substitution
In this module you can study how to substitute given values into a formula.
For example, you'll learn how to find the perimeter of a square (the formula for this is p=2w + 2l) when you know the width is 10m and the length is 20m.

All about angles
In this module, you will study how angles are formed, the names of types and parts of angles and how to measure angles using a protractor.
Similar triangles
In this module you will study similar triangles, which are triangles of the same shape but different size.
The Pythagorean Theorem
In this module, you will study the Pythagorean Theorem, which describes the amazingly simple and useful relationship that exists between the sides of a right triangle.
Introduction to sine, cosine and tangent
In this module, you learn how to find sines, cosines and tangents, and you'll also learn about a memory device called sohcahtoa.
Find an unknown side length
In this module, you will study how to use trig to find an unknown side length of a right triangle.
Find an unknown angle measure
In this modules, you'll study how to use trig to find an unknown angle measure of a right triangle.
Solving real-world right triangle problems using sine, cosine and tangent
In this module, you will study how to apply your knowledge of sine, cosine and tangent to real-world right triangle problems.
